Organizing *is* the work. Building community and practicing care skills are foundational to absolutely everything else, but they’re also how we change the paradigm away from authoritarianism and give people the tools to maintain democratic social structures.

Jensen Huang is a piece of shit. Every hyperscaler CEO is too. These scumbags drove the price of everything up so that they could all help Jensen Huang make more money. We did not need him to build all these GPUs. He just wanted to sell them to boost earnings. Ugly.

This means that the increased price of RAM and consumer electronics was a result of an artificial "supply chain crisis" created by Jensen Huang pushing NVIDIA's customers to take early delivery of GPUs. Jensen Huang is responsible for making life worse for everyone.

If our system of justice can determine that shooting a one year-old is justified, then we do not have a system of justice, and our goal should be the eradication of the system we have and its replacement with something better.

and don't get me wrong, FUCK YEAH TO THOSE KIDS. but everyone who was worried about military police at the polls needs to be *losing their fucking minds* over the fact that they shut down polling places at HBCUs and if you're not, what are you even doing

eternal scream of RAAAAGE those kids should not have to do this any more than the people waiting in line for 12 hours in Georgia should have to do that.

IMPORTANT: today we saw an Italian wolf with a leaf on their nose. (This one was in the enclosure at the wolf rescue center in Alfedena, but Abruzzo National Park has a pretty healthy wild population of wolves).

evelyn normielib has guns too

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Crazy idea: Democrats should defend immigration and immigrants, run on the idea that immigrants make America great, and stop Homer Simpsoning themselves into the shrubbery every time Republicans try to demagogue it.

the “you should go back to x” people have undergone a process im calling heterodoxy creep where they’ve slid from “rational thinking requires that i don’t dismiss ideas on the basis of the person arguing them being gross” to “the more i listen to rabid lying monsters, the more rational i am”

it's a fucking religion. almost everything they do is premised on the notion that they are creating a god that will save them. these are not serious people and they shouldn't be trusted

Multiple things are true here. This is a fascist, authoritarian administration. It has not yet fully consolidated power. Some of its efforts to do so have been frustrated. Trump is a doddering, confused egomaniac who started an unpopular war that's costing everyday people a lot of money.

Anticipating the coming storms (both literal and metaphorical) and experiencing them are very different things. I think it might be impossible to appreciate the horrors fully until we’re in their midst. I just hope that humanity does better with this than with COVID.

Institutions that are supposed to inform and prepare people are instead crumbling, being dismantled, or being looted and smashed. You’re unfortunately too familiar with this and sounding the alarm, but having to build ways to collectively route around the damage is going to take longer.

It's a 15 minute commute from "my level of expertise in my craft is too high for AI to turn my work into slop" to using AI to produce embarrassing slop.

"I'm too small to provide legitimacy to Substack by publishing there" is step 1 of 1 for how you end up providing legitimacy to Substack by publishing there.

"I'm too smart to have my brain pickled by the X algorithm" is exactly the kind of thinking that leads to getting your brain pickled by the X algorithm

Just a reminder: child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on X is not a flash-in-the-pan thing associated with Grok's loose image generation rules. It is a persistent, ONGOING feature of X Fair to assume X will be one of the few to carry a live-streamed execution too, btw www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/t...

Any Democrat announcing pre-emptively that they won't impeach Trump is not just failing to fulfill their constitutional duties, they're signaling to Trump that he can ramp up the abuses because they're not going to hold him accountable. Nope.

His X experience doesn’t involve getting abused so he comes here to play at something plenty of people would rather escape. Kinda seems like X has affected what he thinks is acceptable behavior more than he knows.

It's almost as if running a home takes effort. Oddly enough, it also sounds like maintaining friendships, society, and social networks also takes effort and thought. Raise your hand if you're shocked. I'll hand you a broom.

This is how you write a headline.

Hard to overstate how much Hegseth's execution stream mirrors the U.S. military's traditional description of ISIS propaganda: broadcast killings designed to send a message, strike fear and create a social media spectacle. Will almost certainly be repurposed by online terror cells

Immediately after Ukraine took out two of the five data centers run by the Russian tech giant Yandex, pro-Trump and pro-MAGA posts on American social media sites plummeted. The same happened to posts boosting Germany's far-right AfD. Russia is engaged in MASSIVE election interference.

"If they don't want to be called nazis they should stop doing nazi shit, and the media should ask themselves why heated language bothers them more than nazi shit."

Over the last decade, there were two hypotheses: H1: the political right genuinely cared about threats to speech from the left. H2: they were using campus speech wars to impose their values and silence dissent. Today, the answer is clear, but I can't find any of the H1 people admitting their error.

Berger, the historian, said that what makes the project exciting is that it centers on being a defendant. “But it’s also a tragic commentary on where we’re at, with a large swath of people and politics under attack right now,” he said. “We’re all defendants.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I promise you, there are Democrats in congress right now who still believe it is possible to go back to before Trump. It is not. Republicans are spending Trump’s term as Vought intended. They are intentionally breaking government in as many places as they can to make going back impossible.

This is an important statement people, and especially elected Dems need to really understand. The current Republican project is one of destruction, by design. Yes, they have other goals, in RFK’s case he’s objectively pro-disease, but their primary metric of success is breaking government.

Announcing "our product attracts the kind of people who want to verbally abuse something that can't fight back on a level we've had to address structurally" feels like a little bit of a self-own, tbh, but thankfully I'm not in charge of their marketing.

In case you hadn't been following this disturbing sequence of events, here's a recap: RFK Jr wanted to fund a randomized trial, run by Danes, involving newborn babies in Guinea-Bissau Ethicists across the world, including in Nigeria, Cameroon, & Ethiopia, were horrified: it's an unethical study

RFK Jr is funding a grotesquely unethical study on newborn babies in Guinea-Bissau; ethicists, pediatricians, clinical trial experts, & infectious disease experts are calling this horrific trial The New Tuskegee. It is unethical to withhold a life saving intervention from half of newborns FFS.
